I rarely write reviews, but I just had an amazingly pleasant experience at Mike's Smog Check in Indio (Indio Blvd) that I felt compelled to share. When I phoned them, they were wide open,, but it took me about 15 minutes to get there, so when I arrived they pleasantly informed me it would be just a brief wait, and asked if I'd like to sit in their air conditioned office while I waited. At first, I chose to remain in the car with the AC blasting. After literally just a couple of minutes, the office manager gave me an update and told me it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes. About 2 minutes later, she motioned me (and the car) to drive up toward the work area. They weren't ready for me quite yet, but she wanted to get me and my MIL's old Subaru out of the beating sun. At that point, I opted to go into the office. The office manager almost immediately asked if I'd like a cold bottle of water! By then, literally probably even less than 10 minutes, they were ready for my car. The technician did a thorough, but speedy, job and the car passed. They emailed the results to the State (don't know if they do this on all tests or just the STAR tests), and quickly went over the invoice and results with me, I paid, and was on my way. Painless and they have a very professional team!! read more

Recently, I was in search of a convenient place to have my car tested for smog. A co-worker recommended Mike's Smog, so I decided to give them a call to inquire about pricing and appointment requirements. The staff I spoke with were very courteous and informed me that no appointment was necessary and that I could come in the same day. Taking advantage of my lunch break, I visited their location. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and invited to wait inside their lobby, which was comfortable and well-maintained. The team worked efficiently, and my car was ready in no time. Based on this positive experience, I feel confident in recommending Mike's Smog for anyone needing similar services. In fact, I intend to take my other vehicle there as well. read more

So I took my 1978 Chevrolet Caprice to get smogged today. After being warmly greeted and a short wait, they loaded my car on the smog machine. Mike likes to do a pre-test on the cars to see how it will perform on the actual smog test. He told me that my car was very close and that there's a good chance it will pass. He asked me if I wanted to continue with the test. Sure enough my car passed! I was very pleased with their service and I'm definitely going to be returning for all my smog checks. read more

I needed my smog done ASAP, and lucked out when I called Mike's Smog Check. I called at 9:30 AM on a Saturday, and was able to get an appointment immediately. The receptionist, who happens to be Mike's wife, was warm and welcoming, and even offered me a bottle of water while I waited. Mike had my smog check done in no more than 15 minutes, and was extremely kind. I highly recommend Mike's Smog! They're open ALL DAY on Saturdays, and stray open until 6PM during the week. read more

went in the other day to get a smog (obviously) and they had it done in 10 minutes. I ended up staying way longer afterwards talking to mike himself about small businesses, music and family. Everyone is so friendly and very honest. As a woman he makes you feel very comfortable and everything is out in the open, he doesn't try and cheat you or up the price like other places do out here. He does a great job and he knows what hes doing, he really cares. read more

This is my first yelp review. I was compelled to submit 3 reviews today. Doesn't get better than your greatest new auto tech telling you exactly what the problem is and isn't. Then, telling you how to get it handled (next review). When i went to pick up my car, i asked, "how much?". He just sent me in the right direction, problem solved. I'm going to find another problem with my car tomorrow and go back to pay him something. read more

I took our 1998 Ford Crown Victoria to Mike's Smog Check yesterday. They greeted me at my car, opened my door for me, asked me to wait in the waiting room (air-conditioned). I was offered a bottle of water while I waited and Mike's mom was super sweet! The smog check took about 15 minutes and I was done. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! I will definitely be back with my next car that needs a smog check. read more

Excellent customer service! I went there to get my biennial Smog check for the DMV. I was greeted immediately by the staff before I even walked in the door. I barely sat down in the waiting area and my car was ready to go. I was literally in and out in less than 10 minutes. I didn't even have time to finish a game on my phone. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs a Smog check. read more

it is very rare to find a smog place that doesn't charge you if you don't pass, Mike's is the exception. $55 per check, only if you pass. $0 if you don't, and they'll make sure you're aware of the problem so you aren't ripped off by the next mechanic you visit. the owner is very personable and accommodating. do yourself a favor and get your vehicle smogged at Mike's. you'll be glad you did. read more

My family's has been going to Mike's smog since 2007. We love that they are 100% family owned. They share thoses family values with you when you're their customers. They are honest and straight forward. They take their time with your car, check it over and your still out within 15 minutes. No one does that kind of service anymore. Thank you for your great service! read more

Needed to get a smog check asap because I'm a procrastinator and always wait till the last minute and Mike's took me in right as they were about to close I think, They were very speedy but most importantly to me they were friendly! That's rare to find in businesses now a days. Will definitely come back and will recommend to all my family and friends. read more

Great customer service from Mike and family! My step-dad recommended both my sister and I to come here for smog checks, and each time they get the service done quickly with no hassle. And again they are such nice people, so anytime I need to get a smog check I will be coming here in the future! read more

We've taken our vehicles here for years now & service is always top notch. It's not the closest smog check to our house but I'm willing to drive farther for a mom & pop shop who goes out of their way to be friendly & accommodating. Another bonus is that they are always cheaper than the others! read more
